The ProShares Ultra Russell2000 aims to deliver daily investment returns that precisely double the daily performance of the Russell 2000 Index, before the deduction of any fees or expenses. ### What is the expense ratio of UWM? ProShares - Ultra Russell2000 (UWM) charges an expense ratio of 1.08%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### Is UWM a good long-term hold? UWM is a leveraged fund designed to deliver a daily multiple of its underlying index. Daily reset compounding means returns over multi-day periods can diverge significantly from the headline multiple, typically with negative drift in choppy markets. These funds are designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold. Review the fund's prospectus before holding more than a few days. ### How does UWM's daily reset work? UWM rebalances exposure each trading day to maintain its target leverage ratio against the next day's move. The daily reset means returns compound at the daily level, so a +1%, −1% sequence on the underlying doesn't return the underlying to flat after the leverage multiplier. Over time this path-dependence erodes returns in volatile markets and amplifies them in trending markets. ### How big is UWM? ProShares - Ultra Russell2000 (UWM) manages $211.2M in total assets. AUM determines bid-ask liquidity and the fund's vulnerability to closure. Funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation. ### Is UWM actively managed or an index fund? UWM's management style is described in the fund's prospectus. See the description on the Summary tab for the published strategy. ### Does UWM pay a dividend? ProShares - Ultra Russell2000 (UWM) currently distributes little or no income. Trailing-twelve-month yield is 0.88%. Investors looking for income should consider income-focused alternatives. See the Peers tab. ### How often does UWM pay dividends? ProShares - Ultra Russell2000 pays dividends Quarterly.

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 1.08% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does UWM charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from UWM's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does UWM cost more than a fund like VOO? UWM is a leveraged fund (current expense ratio 1.08%). Daily-reset leverage products carry swap and financing costs that don't exist on a plain-vanilla equity ETF. The Cost Verdict card compares against the leveraged/inverse cohort where these costs are the norm. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to UWM? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as UWM (1.08%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
